What is the "strength" of an antenna?

What is the "force" of an antenna?

Is it the same as the "oomph"?

Hi Jack,

Strength is often associated with potential (Volts being common here).

Force is more often associated with power (by virtue of Newton, Watts
being common here).

oomph is what an old fart mutters as he stirs uncomfortably in his
chair while avoiding a bench test of his mental gymnastics.

Units of force do not include Watts.

Units of force are such things as Newtons, dynes, poundals, pounds, etc.
